New pics of Taco with plow on/new rims tires too

Not to shabby, looks like a really nice truck As much as I'm against putting a snowplow on a smaller truck, it looks good as well. Hopefully the Taco will hold up (and I bet it will).

Looks good. Which blade did you get? I've been using the Blizzard 720LT on my 2000 Ford Ranger going on 3 years. Last year plowed through 24 inches no problem. Make sure to put about 250 lbs. of ballast near the tailgate to level the truck out. How much plowing you plan on doing? Good luck.

it is a 720lt ...I have been doin this here in Boston for about 4 years...I have 36 accounts...I also have another truck too....I just need some snow!

I hear you about the snow. I recommended this plow a while back but yours is the first Taco I've seen it on. Any problems or cutting required for the install? I was originally going to transfer mine from the Ranger to the Taco. Dealer was going to give me $1,000.00 trade-in for the Ford because of high mileage, 168,000. Decided to keep the Ranger just for plowing and not beat the crap out of the Taco. Also how is the suspension handling the extra weight? I've hit the rear bump stops already with 4 passengers (2 adults & 2 kids) so it's been a concern of mine if I ever decide to switch.

Well I have the 285 ome coils on mine which help, I also Have a set of timbren load boosters on the front(replaces stock bump stops) I did no cutting at all, it all just bolted on fine... I do howecer have some rub when turning due to the 285'sim running with the goodyear mtr's...I just ordered 265-70-17 blizzaks..Im hoping they dont rub at all...

I was going to say.....you look like you're all dressed up with no where to go. I guess when the blizzard comes, you'll be the first one there

Someone else told me about the timbrens also but that was a while ago and I forgot all about them. Guess I'll install them when the time comes Thanks for the info. The blizzaks shouldnt be a problem at all. Arent they the same size as stock rubber?

Nice rims

Let us know how a whole winter of plowing snow works out for those pretty shiny new wheels....

I edited your pics so they wouldn't take up the whole screen. It also helps if you put spaces between the pics.

Yes , it is a led beacon....I also have a 6 outlet undercover stobe kit installed too....I like the beacon, it is thin, and clear so its not so noticible until it is on...
